An insurance broker's survey finds little change in the rate of increase for group clients over the past six months as employers shift more of the cost burden onto their employees, the Council of Insurance Agents & Brokers said.
The Washington, D.C.-based association's six-month survey of group medical and group life plans finds little difference in the rate of increase over the previous six month survey, the council said.
For small accounts, 50 or less employees, and medium-size accounts, between 51 and 500 employees, the bulk of the increase was in the range of 11-to-15 percent. For large accounts, those with 501 or more employees, 46 percent experienced increases in the 6-to-10 percent range.
